About this listen

After single-handedly intervening in a deadly terrorist attack in Mali, SAS Warrant Officer Jamie 'Geordie' Carter is denounced as a lone wolf by jealous superiors.

Now a Regiment outcast, Carter is given a second chance with a deniable mission: locate SAS hero-gone-rogue David Vann.

Vann had been sent into Afghanistan to train local rebels to fight the Taliban. But he's since gone silent, and expected attacks on key targets have not happened.

Tracking Vann through Afghanistan and Tajikistan, Carter not only discovers the rogue soldier's involvement in a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the Middle East—but an imminent attack that will have deadly consequences the world over....

I felt like I was sat on Carters shoulder the whole way through the story. Fantastic!!

Once you hit play, you won’t hit stop.

Great book

Chris Ryan does it again. A story full of twist’s and turns. Totally plausible as it seems anything can happen these days.
Top marks to the narrator Simon Darwenn. Vann has a good old Ulster prod belfast accent, usually voices are more slanted towards southern Irish, so a refreshing change and spot on.
Looking forward to see where the story goes from here.

Many twist’s and turns.

I have really enjoyed many of the American lone soldier elite forces novels, so it was great to encounter this one that has a distinctly British ironic tone, with plenty of army humour (such as navigating the Afghan mountains using piles of poo). There are human touches to the political undertones and plenty of twists in the plot. And of course thoroughly implausible, as is essential for the genre!

Excellently British SAS thriller

I struggled to finish it. The story appeared far fetched, tested me listening to it, and, I'm never going to say how much I like the Geordie accent again !

Disappointing
